our favourite fruity duo had to have a beginning somewhere, right? well, this was it — and never fear, they absolutely despised each other from the very beginning. this is a must-read for any BSD fan for two reasons: 1- the anime left out a few vital scenes (as they always seem to do for this show), and 2- upon meeting him for the first time, Chuuya kicks the shit out of Dazai, which is very entertaining to watch. Harukawa’s illustrations are, as per usual, absolutely perfect, and posts of panels from the new manga adaptation have me super excited to read it once it’s published in English.
